nenad 358 Posted April 7, 2016 #251 Share Posted April 7, 2016 France Netherlands is probably a tossup or Netherlands small favourites but other matches i wouldn't be surprised to see one unexpected result out of 3, the difference between those countries isn't like it used to be.

Pavlo 65 Posted April 7, 2016 #252 Share Posted April 7, 2016 what a strange sys to give NED 2nd place, totally unlogical for me! Ok, ITA-ROM and HUN-GER are easy picks, then the hit ESP-CAN, ESP seems to be the fav but CAN is really good, the looser will be the biggest looser of whole 4 years...while the winner of NED-FRA the oppossite. Both teams are a surpise, both are a bit "new" to this level (not mentioning the old times), a bit unstable so the shape of the day will decide, i bet on NED and ESP I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshMartini007 2,210 Posted April 7, 2016 #254 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Spain will be the favourite over Canada, but Canada will have a chance. This means Canada will lose by 1 goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my.... lol yeah, I already posted the PDF book about the tie breaking rules earlier in this thread. first they determine the top team (Italy), then, 2nd and 3rd and since we have a tie for 4th place (they tied each other so no head to head match) then their results against the top team (Italy) determine the 4th place, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my.... But NED won against ESP, so in that case, it's not so weird to be above them If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

intoronto 4,236 Posted April 7, 2016 #259 Share Posted April 7, 2016 So dumb to use different crtieria to determine who finsihes where. The first method that would work (since head to head points would not work) would be head to head goal differential. In that case Italy first, Spain second and Netherlands third. Hoping France doesn't win as they do not deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
